Abstract

We analyze the annihilation of equally-charged particles based on the Brownian motion model built by F. Dyson for NN particles with charge qq interacting via the log-Coulomb potential on the unitary circle at a reduced inverse temperature β\beta, defined as β=q2/(kBT)\beta=q^2/(k_B T). We derive an analytical approach in order to describe the large-tt asymptotic behaviour for the number density decay, which can be described as a power law, i.e., ntνn\sim t^{-\nu}. For a sufficiently large β\beta, the power law exponent ν\nu behaves as (β+1)1(\beta +1)^{-1}, which was corroborated through several computational simulations. For small β\beta, in the diffusive regime, we recover the exponent of 1/2 as predicted by single-species uncharged annihilation.
